'The Divider' by Susan Glasser and Peter Baker — a sweeping, dishy, 700-plus-page history of 'Trump's almost cartoonishly chaotic White House' — shows he came close to taking several rash military actions.
Trump enraged then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staffwith attacks on the integrity of generals, including accusing the military of undermining him in the press. "You guys are f---ing leakers," Trump said. "We're not f---ing leakers," Dunford shot back.
Melania Trump told former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, at the time a presidential confidant, that she had warned her husband about his COVID response: "You're blowing this." Trump sometimes undercut Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, in meetings when he wasn't there. "Jared, all he cares about is his New York liberal crowd," Trump harrumphed. "These are not my people."
White House chief of staff John Kelly was so furious when Trump refused to lower the flag after Sen. John McCain died that he told the president: "If you don't support John McCain's funeral, when you die, the public will come to your grave and piss on it." Trump gave in.
